A record breaking snow for Louisville

The snow total for today in Louisville was 0.3 inches. That is the most that has ever fallen on November 12 in Louisville. The previous record was a trace in 1991.

As a snow lover, I always say that any snow in November is a bonus.Here are the November snows in the last 5 years......2010: 2 days with a trace2008: 4 days with a trace

Snow is pretty rare during November in Louisville. The last time there was a snowfall of 2 inches or more during November was 1977.

On the left is a list of the snowiest winters for Louisville.Every year I mention that we have not had more than 30 inches of snow during a winter since 1977-1978. Some of the surrounding areas have had up to 40 inches of snow in some recent winters, but not here in the city.

Maybe with at least some snow in November, that is a sign of a snowy winter coming up. We shall see.

Courtesy of the sunshine, the temperature has made it up to 40 degrees. Our high for the day was at midnight with 45 degrees.

The forecast low for the city tonight is lower 20's. Some spots out in the country could see lower teens!This will be our coldest night since February 21.
